I tried the 35 NS and they were comfortable, even a bit big. I tried the 34 NS and they were a snug fit so when they stretch they should be perfect. I tried the 34 Petite NS and they were way too tight on my legs. If you are comfortable in 34, I would go with 34 in PNS and size down in NS to 32.

This may have been mentioned, but I heard that the newest APC releases are minimizing the "vanity sizing" and there isn't as much need to size down as in the past. My previous pair of NS is size 29, and has stretched to a good size for me. If I were to buy a new pair of NS, should I stick with 30? Normal waist size is 31.

I have some APCs that I accidentally washed (hot water) after only a few months of wear and now they are a ugly dark blue color. Are there any solutions to this problem? I was even thinking about trying to dying them completely white at this point because they are unwearable?

I've been wearing my pair of New Standard for 4 months now and it is a bit too long and wide. Thinking of getting it hemmed and tapered. Should I do this now or continue to wear them for a few more months, wash it and then get them tailored?

Well, the top part fits well (hips and thigh). It's just the bottom section from the knees down...I would have preferred more taper and shorter length. Don't think it will be too hard for tailor to fix, just would like to know should I get them done now or after they are more worn in and washed?.
